Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 56

Alexandra's POV

I inhaled and exhaled deeply, hearing my sighs were low toned compared to the loud and classy music that was being played outside downstairs.

I stared at myself in this large gorgeous white dress Lauren had told me not to wear, but the black one she picked out, I didn't like at all.

I applied lip gloss and wiped the corners of my mouth, before placing my hair behind my shoulder.

I looked like a princess.
In a Disney film.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door; "come in", I say turning around.

Lauren opened the large door, and immediately her mouth dropped.

"W-what are you wearing?", she asked.
"I decided to switch it up a bit. Do you like?", I asked spinning causing my dress to flow.

"No-no-no. You can't wear that is against the Coalition Policy. No one can wearing white, meaning even you- so you have to change", she told me.

"No", I say.
"No? You can't just ignore the policy. There are rules that have to be followed", she said approaching me.

"I don't follow rules", I say with sassed.

As suddenly there was a horn blown.
"Shit- your late. I guess this will have to do- let's go", she said pulling me out the room, almost making me stumble in these heels.

I followed her out the room, rushing down the large hallway, as the sound of music and laughing got louder.

I looked out a window I was passing and saw Christmas lights hung up as decoration, moments later, I stood in front two large closed doors.

"smile", Lauren told me.
I slightly forced a smile.

"Alexandra Leighton, everyone", a voice from outside, and suddenly the large doors open, and classic music played, I slowly walked outside into the backyard.

Hearing gasps from multiple people, and I walked outside.

Man, they must take no wearing white thing to the max, I mean no one but me was wearing white.

I noticed William who was standing next to boys that looked around his age.

He looked at me, staring at me.
He handed his glass over to his buddy and slowly walked towards me.

I bit my lip nervously, meeting him half way.
"You look— beautiful", he said pausing before continuing.

I slightly smiled, "you don't look so bad yourself", I say.

He chuckled.
"What?", I asked.
"My mother is going to flip when she sees you", he says.

"Why?", I asked confused.
"when a young lady where's a white it means there running for a place in crowning", he says.

"English- please?", I say.
"Everyone thinks your running to become queen", he said.

I blinked at him.
"I'm sorry? Queen?", I asked.
"Queen of Windsor to be exact", he said.
"I- I just didn't want to wear what lauren picked out", I say.

"Of course you didn't, your Alexandra", he said.
"I'm gonna go, change", I say about to turn around when he stopped me.

"Dance with me first", he says.
"Okay", I say so nonchalant following him to the empty dance floor, as suddenly slow music began to play.
